Exodus 4:1-17 - Yahweh Provides Signs And Help For Speaking
1 And Moses will answer and say, And behold, they will not believe in me, and they will not bear to my voice: for they will say, Jehovah was not seen to thee.
2 And Jehovah will say to him, What this in thy hand? and he will say, A rod.
3 And he will say, Cast it upon the earth. And he will cast it upon the earth and it will be into a serpent, and Moses will flee from before it 4 And Jehovah will say to Moses, Stretch forth thy hand, and seize by its tail. And he will stretch forth his hand, and will hold fast upon it, and it will be for a rod in his hand. 5 That they shall believe that Jehovah was seen to thee, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaak, and the God of Jacob.
6 And Jehovah will say to him yet again, Bring now thy hand into thy bosom. And he will bring his hand into his bosom, and he will bring it forth, and behold his hand leprous as snow. 7 And he will say, Turn back thy hand into thy bosom. And he will turn back his hand into his bosom, and he will bring it forth from his bosom, and behold, it turned back as his flesh. 8 And it shall be if they will not believe in thee, and will not hear to the voice of the first sign, and they believed the voice of the latter sign. 9 And it shall be, if they will not believe in the two signs, and will not hear to thy voice, and take thou from the water of the river and pour out upon the dry; and the water which thou shalt take from the river shall be and shall be for blood upon the dry.
10 And Moses will say to Jehovah, With leave my Lord, not a man of words, also from yesterday, also from the third day, also from the time of thy speaking to thy servant; for I being heavy of mouth, and heavy of tongue.
11 And Jehovah will say to him, Who set a mouth to man? or who set the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or blind? is it not I Jehovah? 12 And now go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
13 And he will say, With leave, my Lord, send by the hand thou shalt send.
14 And Jehovah will be angry with anger against Moses, and he will say, Is not Aaron thy brother, the Levite? I know that speaking, he will speak. And also behold him coming forth to thy meeting: and seeing thee and rejoicing in his heart 15 And speak to him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and teach you what ye shall do. 16 And he the word for thee to the people: and being, he shall be to thee for a mouth, and thou shalt be to him for God. 17 And this rod shalt thou take in thy hand, with which thou shalt do signs.
